LATEST ACTION

"Fair and Very Normal"
ON WHAT PLANET?!

Isle of Man Energy seems to believe everything they do is 100% accurate all of a sudden!

Issuing a statement that could only be described as delusional, Isle of Man Energy seem to have forgotten about its recent actions, and the 600 complaints with the OFT when talking about 'Fair and Normal'...

"I think the most effective thing would be for proper regulation of the sector and that is in the hands of us Keys members as legislators."

We are collating as much evidence as possible against Manx Gas (aka Isle of Man Energy) as possible to ensure all residents have access to accurate and factual legal information so they can decide independantly of an advocate whether or not to take action against the company.

About Us

Manx Gas Information and Services technically began in November 2022 when Isle of Man Energy failed to account for a single payment made to Manx Gas. Amidst the confusion of the name change (they forgot to inform the customers of) their phones rang and rang and no-one would ever answer.

I wrote them a letter to let them know of their error and they didn't respond.

I wrote them a letter to let them know my actualy reading rather than their ridiculous over-estimated bill and they didn't respond.

I wrote them a Letter Before Action in an attempt to not have to take them to court and they still didn't respond*.

The court served them legal notice of my intent to sue them for negligence, incorrect invoicing and breach of their duty of care and they didn't respond!

I have had the fortuity that I made the time to do this. Most people do not which is how they continue to get away with it.

That ends now.

* Technically they did respond, but they did so after 21 days and not the 14 required by the court...

A good question!

The court filing fees vary depending on the level of damages and compensation you may be entitled to with your circumstances. To register a Small Claim over misbilling, the fee is as little as £30 which will be awarded back to you when you win your case.
At this point, and with so much mounting evidence against them, it would be difficult for any deemster to not agree with the majority of the residents in the Isle of Man that there needs to be serious concequences for inaccurate bills sent to thousands of members of the Manx public. We have many pieces of relevant case law to cite no matter what your exacting circumstances, and once actual Manx Case Law is established on the matter, every inaccurate bill will result in an instant win for the claimant.
We believe that what Manx Gas (aka Isle of Man Energy) have done to Isle of Man residents is criminal. As a monopoly for the islands gas supply, they have exploited the general publics apathy and been allowed to overbill, force direct debit increases where no increase is needed and generally act like a beligerant schoolyard bully for too long. Action must be taken to stop this kind of bad behaviour for the overall benefit of Manx residents.
